Tie Daily Mine ot Botfl Honses Briefly Epitomized. What is Being Done to Allay Finan cial Depression and Bring Relief. Twenty-Fifth Day. —ln the senate, Tuesday, a resolution for the daily meeting of the senate at 11 a. m., was offered by Yoorhees,who said he would call it np for action Wednesday. An ex traordinary bill was introduced by Mr. Peffer for the creation of a department of education, the construction of a college of scientific learning in the District of Columbia, the appropria tion of $20,000,000 for the purpose, and the further appropriation of SBOO,- 000,000, the interest of which is to form a fund for the support of the college. It also provides that all edu cational institutions and other matters pertaining to public iustructiou shall be under the supervision of the secre tary of education. The bill was re ferred to the committee on the Dis trict of Columbia. A concurrent res olution for the appointment of a joint committee to consider the question of finance, seven senators and seven rep resentatives, was introduced by Mr. Morgan, and went over till Wednes day. The speech began Monday by Mr. Peft'er was concluded by him, and the senate was addressed on the silver question by Mr. Stewart. Twenty-Sixth Day.— ln the senate, Wednesday morning, a bill was intro duced by Mr. Cullom and referred to the finance committee for the repeal of all acts for the creation or mainte nance of a sinking fund. A report was made from the committee on priv ileges and elections for the payment of $2,500 to each of the three claim ants for seats under the appointment of governors, and it was referred to the committee on contingent ex penses. The resolution for a 11 o’clock meeting was presented, and Mr. Yoorhees, who had offered it withdrew it, stating that he did so after consultation with the friends of the repeal bill on the dem ocratic side who thought that if the time of the senate was occupied care fully and conscientiously, as much progress could be made. Mr. Mor gan’s resolution for a joint select com mittee on finance was taken up, and Mr. Yoorhees having suggested its reference to the finance committee, Mr. Morgan argued against the sug gestion, stating that the purpose of the resolution was to supercede the finance committees in each house and substitute the joint select committee for them. Twenty-Seventh Day.— ln the sen ate, Thursday morning, after the dis position of some routine business, Mr. Yoorhees moved to proceed to the consideration of the bill to repeal the Sherman act. In connection with that motion, Mr. Morgan said that al though he had intended to ask a vote on his resolution for a joint select committee on finance, he did not wish to antagonize the chairman of the finance committee. He had had some conference with Yoorhees, and had agreed not to press his resolution. The senate then, without any objection, took up the repeal bill, Mr. Stewart being entitled to the floor to continue his speech. Mr. Stewart, however, offered to forego his right tem porarily in favor of Mr. Walthall, who desired to address the senate. Mr. Walthall expressed his willingness to co-operate in prompt action on the bill, and suggested a simple mode to promote it—that to put into the form of enactment the declaration of policy made in the bill. If that were done the bill could be passed in half the time. He said the purchasing clause of the Sherman law did not cause the present financial conditions, but was the culmination causes. Other coun tries which had no Sherman law were suffering just as much. He w*as 6ure repeal would lead to a single gold standard in America. The people of Mississippi were bimetallists and be lieved in free and unlimited coinage of silver. Great interest was mani fested in Walthall's remarks,and there were only a few vacant seats on the floor. Twenty-Eighth Day. -- Speeches from democratic senators in the sen ate Friday on the repeal bill were made by Messrs. Faulkner of Virginia, Turpie of Indiana and Jones of Ar kansas. All of them were in favor of the repeal of the Sherman act, but coupled with the condition that silver should be restored to the position which it occupied prior to the demon etization act of 1873. Twenty-Ninth Day. —The first two hours of Saturday’s session in the sen ate were consumed in the discussion of a resolution offered Friday by Mr. Pefler to inquire into the refusal of the national banks of New York, Bos ton and Philadelphia to pay the checks of their depositors in currency. The discussion was unfinished when the morning hour closed (at 2 o’clock p. m.), and, under the rules, the resolu tion went to the calendar, whence it cannot be taken except by a vote of the senate. And so that particular resolution will be heard of no more during the present session. The remainder of the day was occupied by Mr. Teller in a speech, most of which was devoted to a denunciation of the newspaper press of the country —especially the metropolitan part of it—for its impudence and mendacity. He was finally interrupted by Mr. Yoorhees, who said that the senator from Colorado, he knew, was suffer ing from a throat cold. Hti had now been speaking for nearly two hours, and if the senator would yield to him, he, Mr. Voorhees,would move that the senate go into executive session. The vice president announced the following appointments to committees : Mr. Perkins, republican, of Alabama, civil service and retrenchments, edu cation and labor, naval affairs, Indian depredations, select committee to in vestigate condition of the Potomac river. Mr. Quay, republican, of Penn sylvania, pensions, Mr. Carey, repub lican, of Wyoming, public buildings and grounds. After an executive ses sion, the senate at 4:59 o’clock ad journed till Monday. THE HOUSE. Twenty-Fifth Day,—The session of the house was taken up in the further consideration of the rules. Twenty-Sixth Day —There were not more than a hundred members pres ent when the house was called to order Wednesday morning. Mr. Talbert, of South Carolina, asked leave to in troduce a bill for the enlargement of the volume of the currency. Mr. Brosius, Pennsylvania, objected. The house then resumed consideration of the new code of rules, the pending question being the Kyle amendment, striking from the rules the clause making one hundred members a quo rum in committee of the whole. Mr. Kvle’s motion was agreed to, 118 to 61. Twenty-Seventh Day. —The consid eration of the rules were continued in the house Thursday. Twenty-Eighth Day. —Though the house was not in session Friday there was a large gathering of representa tives discussing the merits of the pro posed amendment. A number of those who voted for unconditional repeal say that they are ready to vote for Mr. Faulkner’s plan is accepted by the senate. Twenty-Ninth Day. —The speaker called a very slim ™ ur< nd I could not g,o with them, so ls sent to the hospital at Rich ,d, and by the time I got able to cor my command they were in ter hwest Virginia and the federal *ylry had cut the telegraph wires not torn up the railroad track, so ar 'Uhat went from Richmond to a - r command had to walk a good of the way. They would not objd less than one hundred raeu at tlu me, so one morning there were j hundred men ready for duty, o’cj we formed into line aud were that they wanted to send „intj*-five wagons loaded with Sf)ließ to the army. This would Dire seventy-five teamsters, and mkrremaining twenty-five men were tet as guards. So they called volunteers to drive the teams, [ as I never was fond of walking, Hn fough I had never drove a team, )lunteered. When they got the sber wanted we were marched In fUa .wa< a pmoni IfH In CTfit state of Alabama raised the quarantine against all cities Wednesday night, and a hundred quarantine agents have been withdrawn. An important railway deal was com menced Wednesday at Memphis,Tenn. It is the attachment of the Memphis & Little Rock railroad to the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia. The Clark Foundry and Machine Works at Knoxville, Tenn., were de stroyed by fire shortly after midnight Wednesday night. Fire had been left in the coke ovens. The loss is $20,000, but is said to be fully insured. The Yourtree ore mine and the Russellville coal mines, of Alabama, which suspended about two months ago, will resume operations on full time. About two thousand men will be given work. The companies have contracts enough ahead to run the mines night and day for six months. The forecast of the crop returns of the North Carolina agricultural de partment for September shows a de preciation of prospects of 25 per cent, from the August report. This is caused by the recent fearful cyclone that passed over the state. The dam age was done by severe winds and floods. Tobacco suffered more than any other crop. Corn and cotton also were greatly damaged. A Jackson, Miss., special of Wednes day says: The board of control, af ter a thorough investigation of all the charges preferred against the prison management and M. L. Jenkins, war den, has arrived at the conclusion that the charges were not sustained by the evidence. The warden was fully exon erated. Messrs. McLaurin and As kew voted against it, and Governor Stone and Attorney General Johnston voted in the affirmative. A dispatch of Wednesday from Montgomery, Ala., says: The last legislature passed an aot requiring the convicts to be taken out of the mines where they are now being worked. At a meeting of the board of convict in spectors a tract of land containing twenty-four hundred acres were select ed and purchased. The land is near Springner’s, on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, where the convicts are to be carried as rapidly as the law will permit. The Memphis Commercial's crop report for Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas, published Thursday shows a reduction in the cotton crop in the Memphis district below former limits. The continued drought is playing havoc with the cotton plant, and un less it rains within a few days the damage will be still greater. In addi tion to the drought and cold nights the boll-worms have added in reduc ing the yield. Corn will make three fourths of an average. A Columbia, S. C., special says: Governor Tillman Thursday afternoon, made reply to the decree of United States Cirt Judge Simonton,imprison ing his constable, Swann, for seizing a barrel of whisky at the South Caro lina depot. The governor says the decree is intended to bring the admin istration of the dispensary law into disrepute and to paralyze the state constables in their efforts to prevent the importation of contraband liquors into the state. He says it is so ‘‘il logical, prejudiced and tyrannical that he feels constrained against his will to criticise it.” Blount’s Successor. A Washington special of Tuesday says; Ex-Congressman Willis, of Ken tucky, has been appointed as the suc cessor to Mr. Blount as minister to Hawaii. Mr. Blount himself indica ted his successor. Mr. Willis is also a personal friend of Secretary Carlisle, and he is regarded as a man of unus ual ability, serving three terms in con gress, representing the Louisville dis trict. While in congress he was chair man of the committee on rivers and harbors, and on the committee on ed ucation and labor. Lowry City, tyo., baa a 3740 pound •teej. OUR LATEST DISPATCHES. Tbe Happenlnp ol a Day Ctiraiclefl in Brief aci Concise PararaAs And Containing tLe Gist of the >’evrs From All Parts of the World. Dr. J. A. Dunwoody, Saturday filed his report on his action as health offi cer of Brunswick in the Branham fever case and also his resignation as health officer. Dr. Dunwoody exonerates City Physician Branham from blame in bringing Surgeon Branham to Brunswick. A London dispatch of Saturday says: Among the subjects scheduled for consideration at the International Medical Congress called to assemble in Borne next month, but the postpone ment of which to next April has just been announced, was the cure for con sumption discovered by Dr. Amick, of the United States, and which is at tracting great attention in England and continental countries. anyA dispatch of Saturday from Arkan qjo£ City, Kas., says: The secretary j the interior is reported to have dis- too late for the information of Obe of practical value, that the ar for igements for the grand rush in the the ero^ee Btoip are without warrant of r. Commissioner Lomoreaux, the he ltd officer, admits the pre-emption thaVs are repealed and that the entries jjj s puld be made under homestead Jaw 00 wired Brunswick Satiu - - that she had .raised the quaran wene. Brunswickians are grateful that m yi?nsible sanitary board refused to I'd Dr. Brunner’s advice to keep the Tirantinean. This ended the quaran- We against Brunswick. Surgeon Ma the Ider is working faithfully to wind jthe government’s affairs at Bruns ;k. When he concludes he will be mar at the Waycrosa end and will set m.Otall bills against the government. O .'he London Standard in its issue of joUliday says that everything points to . issolution of parliament next year. u l Gladstone, it says, deludes him littli if he thinks that the constituen f will have by then forgotten his ih policy. The second home rule c is worse than the first, and we POnjnot possibly have a third. The paper predicts that under the circum stances Mr. Gladstone can never ob tain a majority in Great Britain. A dispatch of Sunday from Fort Wayne, Ind., says: Ered O’Connor, the train dispatcher whose forgetful ness caused the wre*k on the Fort Wayne road, in which a dozen lives were lost, has not been seen by any of his friends since. A few minutes be fore he left the city he sent a message to the coroner of Cook county re questing him to release all of the men held for the accident, as all of them were entirely innocent, he alone being to blame. At 6 :45 o’clock Sunday morning two freight trains on the Nickel Plate rail road crashed into each other, four miles west of Ohio. The result was that two engines were wreck ed, and forty cars were piled on each other in a mass of debris. Fifty cat tle lie by the side of the tracks which are torn up for a distance of 200 yards and all travel is stopped. John Da vidson, engineer of the east bound freight, was instantly killed, and his fireman, J. N. Upher and Charles Merritt, of the west bound train, are dying from terrible injuries. A Columbia, S. C., special of Satur day says: The phosphate outlook in the state is blue, consequent upon the damage done by the recent torna do. Governor Tillman states that the phosphate men proposed to the state that they be allowed to go back to work at a royalty of 50 cents per ton instead of sl, for a term of one year without limit to the amount of rock mined. He stated to them that he was not willing to accede to such an agreement for it would be unfair to the state, even if he had a right to make such a contract. RUTH HAS A SISTER. The President and Mrs. Cleveland Re ceive Congratulations. A Washington special says: Another girl baby was born to President and Mrs. Cleveland Saturday. The birth of a baby in the white house, was, of course, an event in which more than usual interest was felt. In an incred ibly short space of time the news was known in congress and was spread through all the departments. The im minence of the important event was made known early in the day by the issue of an order countermanding the usual Saturday concert by the marine hand in the white house grounds. Dr. Bryant, who accompanied the presi dent and Mrs. Cleveland back from Gray Gables and took up his quarters in the white house, was the attending physician. The latest information ob tainable is that Mrs. Cleveland and her latest daughter were both doing well. The baby is a bright-eyed, healthy looking young lady. This is the first child born to a president in the white house, though there have been other births in the executive mansion. Immediately after the news had been confirmed, members of the cabi net and their wives called to congrat ulate the president and leave their cards for Mrs. Cleveland, and there was a general air of suppressed excitement about the employes of the mansion. Telegrams of congratulation were re ceived from all parts of the country. EUCHRE IS GAMBLING Says a Judge in His Charge to the Grand Jury. A Chattanooga dispatch of Tuesday says: Judge Moon, in his charge to the grand jury created a sensation by declaring that progressive euchre is gambling. He said: “Not only is gambling carried on in regular gamb ling resorts, but people of high stand ing and respectability gamble. They may not put down money, but they set the example for others in playing for prizes and awards. In these pro gressive euchre games these persons play for fine pictures or gold-headed canee. Examples are set that are a violation of the law, and it is just as demoralizing as common gambling,” LABOR DAY. Its Observance General Throughout the Country. Perfect weather characterized Labor Day in New York. All the big manu factories shut down; all wholesale es tablishments, business exchanges, downtown offices and most of the re tail shops closed. The labor parade moved from Cooper Union at Eighth street to the battery. The labor lead ers calculate that 15,000 men were in line. No disturbance of any kind has been reported In Brooklyn the pa rade was one of the largest ever held. By special orders the leaders prevent ed any flag from being carried, except the stars and stripes and trades ban ners. AT WASHINGTON. Labor Day was observed in Wash ington by an excursion of the brick layers’ association to Bay Ridge, where the excursionists were joined by the electricians’ assembly and the horseshoers’ association. The only parade consisted 01 the march of the bricklayers’ association from its head quarters to the depot, accompanied by a band of music. A large number of individuals from the other organiza tions of the city joined the Bay Ridge excursion party. COLUMBIA CELEBRATES. The day was celebrated at Colum bia, S. C., in grand style. Being le gal holiday, state offices and banks were closed. Business also was gen erally suspended. There was a grand parade of unions and citizens. State musie was furnished by battalion B, of Charlotte, N. C. The exercises consisted of addresses, bicycle races and other sport and a big barbecue. The exeroises were attended by an im mense crowd of jieople. There was also a grand celebration of Labor Day at Florence, S. C. At Chattanooga, Tenn., two thous and men in line inarched through the crowded streets to Electric park, where Labor Day was appropriately celebra ted. Every one had a pleasant time and the weather was fine. There was no other demonstration. AT CINCINNATI. Labor Day celebration at Cincin nati was ahead of those of any previ ous year. The parade was the great feature of the morning. The various unions gathered at the Garfield statue and with flying banners and gay badges marched through the principal streets disbanding at the city hall. About six thousand men were in line. BIG PROCESSION IN LOUISVILLE. Labor Day demonstration at Louis ville, Ky., was the largest in the his tory of the city,. Between 10,000 and 15,000 were in line. The weather was beautiful. A CRY OF DISTRESS. Governor Tillman Appeals for Aid for the Storm Stricken Sufferers. A Columbia, S. C., special Thursday says: The awful stupendity of the dis aster of the storm-swept coast of South Carolina is at last realized. It proves to be the calamity of the century. A death roll of several hundred persons developes into almost that of thou sands, while absolute destitution ex tends to 20,000 persons,nineteen-twen tieths of whom are ignorant negroes. These awful facts have been ascertained by Dr. J. W. Babcock, of Columbia, who spent four days as the special repre sentative of Governor Tillman at Beaufort and vicinity. In point of fact,the whole truth is not yet known, as, on account of the impossibility of at present making a circuit of the score or more of islands that make up this archipelago, but enough has been developed to warrant the foregoing statement as to the death and devasta tion. All these islands -were sub merged and the seething waters anni hilated almost everything, scarcely leaving a landmark. TWENTY THOUSAND DESTITUTE. These 20,000 persons are now con fronted by the terrors starvation and pestilence. These facts have caused Governor Tillman to give all his*per sonal attention to the situation and he is now working with might and main to procure relief. Thurs day night he issued a procla mation to the people of the United States appealing to them to make contributions to the cause.. He states therein that these people will have to be fed by charity for six months and that it will take $75,000 to furnish them with bread alone. Ho calls upon the whole people to aid him and pledges his official word that their charity shall not be misapplied. PHILADELPHIA’S GENEROSITY. She Responds to Governor Tillman’s Appeal for Aid, A Columbia dispatch say: Govern or Tiilman’s appeal to the country for aid for the sea island sufferers is meet ing with ready response. He recived a telegram from Major Stuart, of Philadelphia, Friday advising him that the charity committee of the city council of that city had appro priated $5,000 for the sufferes. Gov ernor Tillman returned thanks and wir ed the major to send the contribution,if in money, to him, if in supplies, to the Central relief committee at Charles ton. An Iron Trust Organized. The organization was completed at Duluth, Minn., Tuesday, of the Lake Superior Consolidated Iron company, a corporation which will have much the same relation to the Bessemer iron ore trade of America that the Stand artj Oil company has to the oil trade. It will control fully nine-tenths of the productive mining capacity for Besse mer ores of the United States. The company has made an agreement to maintain a standard of prices. The prices will be such as will preclude the possibility of competition by the deep, hard ore mines of the older ranges. A Dispensary Deputy Jailed. A Columbia, S. C., dispatch of Tuesday recites that Judge Simonton has filed a decision in the United States district court at Charleston, sentencing Deputy Swan, who took a barrel of whiskey from the South Carolina railroad that had been in charge of that road before the dispen sary act went into effect, to three months imprisonment and ordered the whiskey returned. Cleanliness is Ye: y Important. “There is much talk nowadays,” said a trained nurse recently, ‘ ‘about surgical cleanliness, but it seems to be entirely confined to the hospitals. The average woman, even the average in telligent woman, does not appear to realize that she can use some of it right in her own home, and particularly in the sickroom of her home if that apart ment comes into existence. “I have been nursing recently a sur gical case where an open wound was under treatment. Temporarily need ing a softening ointment, I asked for some and had brought to me an uncov ered box of vaseline, thik with dust, which I was told would not do any harm, as it was merely ‘air dust.’ The speaker meant, I sniipose, by this that it was the dust that had gathered by exposure to the air rather than under the active operation of sweeping, but that it was fairly criminal to have any dust on a remedial agent she lied not the slightest idea. “It is this thoughtless ignorance that often makes the household medi cine chest a dire*t evil, and I have thought seriously that a few lessons upon family surgery, particularly that branch of it which teaches absolute and chemical cleanliness, would not be a bad thing to include in the curricu lum of girls’ colleges and schools.”— New York Times. Sewing Women. People who are old enough to re member the advent of the sewing ma chine cannot have forgotten the fears entertained by many conservative persons that the novel invention would put seamtresses out of fashion. The first thought of inexperience on see ing the rapidity with which the ma chine ran up a seam was very naturally that all the seams would be easily fin ished, and that one time honored em ployment of women would bo taken from them. Nobody realized at first that by the aid of the sewing machine more frills, more flounces, more ruf fles and tucks than ever before would be added to our garments, and that garments would themselves be multi plied. The sewing machine did not do away with the seamtress. It made her instead more than ever a necessity. A house in which there is neither a ma chine nor a seamtress can hardly be found in town or oountry, and sewing remains, as much today as in former period, woman’s peculiar work. The machine is the seamtress’ best friend as well as her benefficeut fairy.—Har der's Bazar.

Elder was speaker of the house of representatives in Kansas when Windom and General Sherman died in 1891. Windom died twenty four hours before Sherman, and tl-.e flag on the statehouse was pulled half way down. When the news came of the great general’s death, the sergeant-at-arms rushed in and asked Elder what he should do. “Put the flag half mast,” said Elder “But it is already at half mast for Windom,” explained the sergeant-at arms. “Then pull it the rest of the way down, you goose,” exclaimed Elder petulantly. —Chicago Inter-Ocean.
